Easter Gift Ideas

Easter is almost upon us. Some schools have already broken up for half term, with my lad about to do the same this Friday. Your thoughts may be turning towards Easter gifting, if this is the case, and you are trying to avoid the traditional chocolate for any reason, then this is the post for you, as there is not a chocolate egg anywhere in sight.

Pabobo by Angelcare Mimi Bunny Projector  

The  Pabobo by Angelcare Mimi Bunny Projector  is a cute, cuddly bunny that projects a pretty starry sky on the ceiling to help babies and toddlers fall asleep. The stars slowly change colour and you can stop at their favourite colour too if you wish! It is just a lovely alternative to chocolate at Easter, and perfect for a child who is not yet old enough to enjoy an egg. It plays a soft lullaby so that the little ones fall asleep even more easily and, for practicality, it is also fully machine washable thanks to the removable projector, so you don’t have to worry about grubby little hands putting food all over it.

This is a perfect Easter gift idea that would delight any little one this Easter.

Paw Patrol Goodies From Spin Master

A toy is a far healthier choice than chocolate, and will ensure hours of fun long after Easter is finished. Paw Patrol is one of the most popular ranges from Spin Master amongst pre schoolers, my nephew in particular is obsessed with the cute dogs who help people and animals stuck in sticky situations.

Spin Master have a great range of Paw Patrol goodies that make perfect gift ideas. These include the PAW Patrol Rescue Knights Castle HQ 11-Piece Playset, which currently has 25% off at Argos, and cute Transforming Toy Car Figures (available at Smyths Toys at the moment, rrp £16.99) that are different for all the characters and can be collected to make the complete set – perfect for true Paw Patrol fans!

JD BUG PRO COMMUTE 185 Foldable Scooter From Skates

Getting kids out and about again after the isolation of lockdown is so important,and a scooter certainly adds to the fun. The best scooters around are those available from Skates. They look a dream – bright, glossy and gleaming, and are also adjustable, and foldable, making them perfect if you want to take them on holiday with you.

My pick is the JD Bug Pro Commute 185 foldable scooter, which is suitable for ages 8-16. Skates say of this model:-

The JD Bug PRO Commute 185 Scooter is the only scooter to feature their new Dual Bearing System meaning this scooter offers a longer and faster ride than any other scooter in the range. The massive 200mm 82a SHR Wheels are equipped with the new Dual Bearing System which allows for each wheel to have 4 bearings rather than the standard 2 and so long trips are completed with absolute ease and more comfortably than ever before.

You can find a full range of Skates scooters here.

A personalised Easter Story From In The Book

A personalised book is a wonderful present for Easter, particularly for a child who is still at the stage where they love to be read to. In The Book are experts when it comes to personalised books, and have produced a gorgeous edition for Easter.

This book is beautifully illustrated, but can also be delivered super quickly which is brilliant considering it is personalised. This is such a thoughtful, beautiful gift idea, perfect for your child, a grandchild or a godchild.

Ab Roller Home Workout Set From Amonax
